alligoat Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 The dial looks fine to me. All 1575 movts are marked 1570 on the bridge- the movt is fine. I'm not sure about the case- crown guards look fat and the engravings seem off to me. Crown appears to be the later 24-703 replacement. Could use a bezel and an insert and the top hat crystal appears very tall- but that's because of no bezel, I suppose. Original dial and movement in a replacement case, perhaps.

panerai153 Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 looks pretty good. The rep makers have never gotten the color of the red "submariner" just right, your's looks nice. What happened to the bezel/insert? Do you have them, or did it come without the bezel/insert? If you source a genuine bezel and a nice insert with a tritium pearl, I think you will have a pretty nice example of a 1680.As alligoat said, the case may be a replacement, certainly wouldn't be unusual to have the crown replaced with the later one at a service sometimes in the past. I would expect that most of the 1680's and 1665's from the 1960's and early 70's have had several passes through RSC's or a Rolex authorized watchmaker with a parts account.These are 40 year old watches, and back then most folks were buying watches to wear everyday, not to put up in a safe. Although a few folks with exceptional foresight or a Damn good crystal ball put watches back with the hopes that they would appreciate, or as a future gift to their son or gransdson,etc. These however, were certainly the exception rather than the rule.

By-Tor Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 Congrats! Just make sure that they will NOT touch the dial. If they "refurbish" it, the value of your nice 1680 will go down the drain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 That's great news and $550 is about par for a Rolex service these days. Like B-T says, don't let them touch the dial (or the hands). With service papers, the value of your watch will be improved by at least twice the cost of the service, possibly more!
